Viconic Energy Absorbing System

Advanced impact mitigation technology engineered to reduce impact forces and improve athlete protection.

Performance

  • Loads up faster than foam

  • More stroke than foam

  • Highly efficient force vs. deflection curves

Benefits

  • Customized performance – Impact absorber shape customized for each impact location, while competitive foam pads are mono-density

  • Easily tuned – Impact absorber stiffness tuned by changing sheet thickness without need to modify tooling

  • Stable – Impact absorber conforms to head shape and is suspended in shell to improve stability over foam pads

  • Recoverable – Protects against multiple impacts

  • Long life cycle – Made from durable and washable materials

  • Prototype tooling can be easily modified to adjust design parameters as needed

  • Customized structures and impact protection throughout the energy absorber

  • Rapid performance optimization

Cost

  • Rapid/low-cost prototype development

  • Lower tooling cost than foam and injection molding

Storage and Transportation

  • Parts nest for up to 90% space reduction

  • Requires less plant floor space, lower shipping costs, lower handling costs
